He nods and reaches his hand out for a shake, which you gave.

An uncomfortable silence falls upon the both of you, just watching the sky get darker and darker by the second.

You look at Jungkook, who once had a tidy hair before the strong winds combed it back and away from his baby face. His eyes suddenly flicked to meet yours, and you look away.

"When is Taehyung coming back?" You inquired in a soft tone to break the thick atmosphere.

"Oh, he went ahead, back to Seoul." Seeing your expression saddened, Jungkook continues. "He said he had to pass something due in an hour, but he will be back."

When you stayed silent, Jungkook adds on, "I don't understand why he'd want to be coming back though. He had finished all his work here."

You think silently for a moment before nodding in understanding. "I'll tell him not to come back here." Grabbing your phone from your pocket, you send a text to Taehyung;

You: daddy

You: rest when you reach seoul and dont bother coming back just for me

You: lets meet another time

Ting!

A familiar sound reached your ears, like a notification.

You look up from your phone and saw Jungkook take his own out. "Oh, it's Taehyung."

His phone rings and though he was surprised by the timing, he takes it immediately. "Hey, Tae."

He slightly tilts his head to look at you in the eye, "Yeah, she's here." he responded into the phone as he flashes you a kind smile. "don't worry, i'll drive her home." he paused, "Of course– yeah, yeah. Bye."

Lowering the device from his ears, Jungkook faces you. "Taehyung asked me to take you home."

Why didn't he just text me?

When you just stared at him, he adds, "That is if you allow me to." He lets out a brittle chuckle.

The corner of your lips slightly tugged upwards, giving the nervous boy a small smile. "Sure, how can I refuse Taehyung."

Jungkook chuckles with a nod, agreeing with your remark. He suddenly stares at you as his lips slowly form back into it's neutral shape. "are you okay?" You asked, concerned.

His gaze averted to the floor and his lips displayed a small smile. Based on your judgement, he looked sad. "yeah, it's just my thoughts bothering me." he meets your eyes again, smiling like nothing happened. "Let's go?"

You wanted to comfort him, but he's a stranger and you can't help but overthink— that he'll find you an annoying stranger who invades his personal life. So you kept your mouth shut, answering with a quick nod.

Jungkook asked his manager for permission and bids the staff goodbye. He walks over to you, "Let's go, my car is parked there." He points to a certain area in a slight hurry.

You were about to question his nervousness, but understood when you heard one of the staff shout, "Our fetus is finally growing up!" followed by another, "Don't worry, you guys look good together!"

Jungkook chuckles in both nervousness and embarrassment, "Uh—yeah, let's just go."

You followed him from behind, silently walking up the stairs. The tapping of your footsteps being the only sound produced.

"So, where to?" He breaks the silence by asking, when you reached his car. He opens the door for you, before running to his side and getting in himself.

"To xx hotel, please." You giggled, while Jungkook smiles. He sounded like an uber so you just played along, easing the aura that surrounds you two.

Jungkook was sweet and all that during the ride but your mind was full of a certain person;

Kim Taehyung.
